I’m endorsing Elizabeth Warren for President of the United States

My intention was to wait another year or so before calling a press conference and formally endorsing a candidate for president, but, when I saw this thread of comments today from Senator Elizabeth Warren about why she wouldn’t be following the lead of other Democratic candidates and appearing on FOX News, I decided that I’ve waited long enough. Warren, as we’ve discussed here before, continues to lead the pack on the policy front, constantly sharing new, ambitious plans on everything from how to make capitalism more accountable to how we address the student debt crisis, and I don’t see reason to hold off making an endorsement. No one else in the field, from my perspective, is even remotely close. I may not agree with her on every issue, but I love that she’s not willing to equivocate when it comes to stating her beliefs. And I admire her willingness to go absolutely anywhere (except FOX News) to talk about these big, bold, unabashedly progressive ideas of hers. She’s bright, authentic, thoughtful and driven. And we’d be lucky to have her as our president.

While a lot of people on the Democratic side are qualified for the job, Warren, I think, is uniquely positioned for the task right now, as America confronts the ramifications of unchecked corporate power and money in politics. I know there are other huge issues that we face as a country, but I can’t help but think that the biggest root cause — when you look at all of the problems that we’re facing, from rapidly increasing income inequality, to our inability to act on global warming — is the corporate stranglehold over Washington. And I don’t see anyone better equipped to take that on than Warren. She knows what needs to be done, and she knows how to talk about these issues in a way that regular Americans understand, tying everything back to the fact that an overwhelming percentage of us want the same exact things — access to quality health care, decent educations for our children, and good, middle class jobs. No one speaks to those core issues like Elizabeth Warren, and I intend to do whatever I can to make sure that more people hear what she has to say.

Now, with all of that said, here’s her Twitter thread that made me get off the sidelines.

I’m sure some of you might be thinking, “But, Mark, Donald Trump has an effective nickname for her. She can never win.” Well, to that I say, “I don’t give a fuck.” I’m not going to walk away from the best candidate in the field because a racist old man on Twitter has convinced some portion of the electorate that she’s unfit for office because, one time, decades ago, she wrote “American Indian” on a registration card for the Texas bar. [By the way, no one, to my knowledge, has been able to demonstrate that she ever sought any kind of advantage by indicating her heritage.] And, I reckon, if we could elect a president who bragged on tape about grabbing women “by the pussy” without their consent, and had unprotected anal sex with a porn star while his wife was was home with their newborn son, then maybe a women who believed members of her family in Oklahoma when they told her that they were descendants of Native American ancestors might have a fighting chance. [For what it’s worth, it did turn out that she had Native American ancestry. It just wasn’t as recent as she’d been led to believe. As I recall, her DNA test showed that she had a Native American ancestor about 7 or 8 generations back, which, as coincidence would have it, is about how far back my Native American ancestor apparently was. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned that, but it was the one interesting revelation my DNA test came back with a few years ago.]

I suppose it’s possible that another candidate could come along and inspire me the way that Warren does… I’ve seen flashes of it here and there from people like Kamala Harris… And if someone else wins the nomination, I’ll fight like hell for them. But, as of right now, I’m all in for Warren, and I feel really good about the decision.

    For what it’s worth, I also gave to her Senate campaign back in 2012, because I liked the fact that she was talking about income inequality when few others were.

    She has more mass appeal than most people know. And she was raised republican and so she can speak to broDsr values many still share. She understands more than liberal myopia but has principles.

    I don’t think any of us has any idea how well she’ll do in the general. I’m not at all convinced she’ll be the nominee but I think if she is she’ll represent Dems well. I do know that elections aren’t about ideas unless a candidate makes it so. And Warren can make it so. Bernie never did. HRC didn’t either. Though at least she tried.

    ‘I have a plan for that,’ is an amazing tag line too.

    Just this past week I also have been coming to prefer Warren. She’s definitely going for the base early by advocating impeachment. I’d like to hear her plan for Roger Stones armed rebellion, but otherwise she’s got most issues covered.

    The AFL-CIO came out aggressively against Biden this week by publicizing his lead pollster as being an anti-union operative. Tulsi is a ruskie stooge. Mayor Pete is too cute. Kamala Harris is still in the running in my mind, but her record as a prosecutor is a little too fascist friendly.

    Warren has been my favorite all along (though I too have been a supporter of hers since her first Senate campaign). I keep fighting to keep an open mind but she keeps setting herself above and apart in my mind with her combination of smart messaging & effectiveness on the trail; extensive, thoughtful & bold plans to solve real problems; and a real grasp on the realities of how power works in DC right now and what it will take to get any parts of her agenda passed.

    Harris is pretty high on my list and I like Gilibrand more than most. I can find things I like about most of the others still in the race but they’re either extremely & dangerously naive about the realities of DC (see Biden’s recent comments about how Republicans will come around once Trump is gone) and/or are total blank slates/avoiding any positive, compelling & achievable vision. Warren covers all those bases and I think she’ll do well is she gets up on the platform.

    For those of you who might not already be sold on Warren, check out this quote.

    “My Secretary of Education will be a former public school teacher.”

    Hell yeah.

    How about “My Secretary of Education will be a person committed to the idea of public education?” Merely being a public school teachers does not mean that someone is committed to the idea of free, quality education for all. There are plenty of public school teachers who are right wing Republicans.

    I don’t care if the Sec of Ed has ever taught before (does the head of the HHS have to be a doctor? Does the Sec of the Interior have to have been a park ranger? Does the head of the IRS have to have been a tax auditor?). I do care if they are committed to making education accessible and affordable for all.

    I don’t think that Warren will appoint a right winger to the post (at all), but I do think the quote is questionable. The best person for the job might not be a former public school teacher. Just campaign slogans, really.

    One word that describes my support for her: PRINCIPLES.

    She is unafraid to take a stand on issues by worrying about her “electability.” She is spelling out what she believes in. Too many of the other folks who are running are sticking a finger in the wind. And even though she boldly states her beliefs, don’t think for one second that she would fail to listen to counter-arguments and consider compromises under the right set of circumstances. She is my pick all the way.

    Yep—name recognition at this stage. She’s doing quite well. She’s from Oklahoma. She’s intelligent and highly competent. She’s not boring or afraid to speak her mind. That’s what the “turn-able” Trump supporters liked about him—he appeared to be honest to them. Warren will appear to be honest to them, because she’s honest.

    I’m convinced “electability” is GOP propaganda to make us overthink our candidates and fuck it up. You can tell someone is _electable_ when they are _elected._ The point of the primaries is to find the most electable candidate, by electing one. The DNC trying to pick an “electable” candidate robs the constituents of the chance to choose what they want.

    Bernie was about our intense yearning for honest progressivism and impeachment. Any candidate who doesn’t advocate openly for impeachment is trying to win the vote of imaginary undecided voters, and can’t be trusted to push for healthcare or corporate taxes.

    Besides, the criticisms of Joe Biden are simple and emotional—one clever phrase about his sexual harassment will utterly destroy him in the same way “but her emails” destroyed Hillary. Candidates who are vulnerable to simple attacks are a poor choice because we’re a simple electorate. I don’t think we have a simple emotional attack against Warren. Warren forces the conversation to policy, where she wins.

    Why can’t it be a teacher as long as they’re qualified? Unless being a teacher makes you _less_ qualified to be Secretary of Education, criticizing that statement just makes you a pedantic devil’s advocate. Unless she nominates someone who’s _not_ qualified, she could say right now “the next Secretary of Education will have a first and last name which begin with the same letter” and it wouldn’t be a problem.

    For everyone else, the electability thing is being put forward by moderates left and right. I can tell you business types are scared to death of a Warren presidency. And they love Biden. It’s the Biden campaign putting forth that narrative. Along with calling him ‘the adult in the room.’ Once he starts lecturing us like papa joe about being realistic he’s sunk.
    Her candidacy would be interesting. It would definitely change the Dem party going forward. Let’s hope.

    Meanwhile she doesn’t have enough money to run. And she never going to get big $$ donors. So we’re all going to need to pony up if we want her to make it past super Saturday.

    Even if they end up with similar platforms putting Kamala and Warren on the same/similar levels does not make sense to me.

    I think a certain type of person will fail to notice or will not care that Kamala is a very bad choice for a leader. I believe she is the type of person that will do anything for power. I am not talking about the infidelity. Listen to some of her interrogations. She is intelligent but she is not interested in the truth. She is interested in using her intelligence to cast shade on the people she perceives as her enemy and she will use fallacious reasoning and innuendo to do it.

    Good people do not use deceit to create illusions. Check Kamala out more. She is truly horrible, imo.

    I don’t agree with all of Warren’s ideas, but at least she is decent person, but the way she expresses herself is kind of annoying to many, I think. Her personality will be a problem, I think.

    From the current group Tulsi is the obvious best choice for you guys, but nobody talks about her much, except to call her a Russian stooge.

    Bob– why is it you thought Bernie would win in the general, where he also would be subject to a thrashing, but Warren can’t?

    What’s the calculus there?

    PS I fail to see any similarities at all between Mondale (who barely seemed interested in running) and Warren, who is on fire, even when the press isn’t paying attention and when the coffers are low.

    I think her main disadvantage is her gender (and so press bias) and her lack of funds. That’s a snake eating its own tail situation if she doesn’t get an expert grassroots fundraising apparatus going soon

    Why do you hate Bernie so much? I believe he would have easily beaten Trump. He is polling far higher than Warren. Warren’s stupid native American fiasco will be impossible to overcome. Trump will run away with that one. Biden is probably a worse choice than Hillary for policy, but he might at least get back some of the white, blue collar, male voters that Hillary and Warren are never going to get. But Biden deserves to lose for his voting record and his unforgivable treatment of Anita Hill. So who’s that leave? I’m with Bernie again. There isn’t much choice. This media narrative about what a rich field of candidates Dems have is such a load. They really don’t. Most of them are deeply flawed or unelectable.

    Bob, If Bernie stays healthy enough, has momentum and Warren falters, the Browns would support him. But right now Warren has called for impeachment, Bernie has not.

    Regarding “Pocahontas”; I would love to see an embrace between her and native Americans. No one else is better on policy. No one else is better on violence against vulnerable populations. And native women, and tons of their allies, are fed up with it and could be a grassroots force.

    In the meantime, she will articulate the issues of the most people the most clearly even if she can’t find the political magic to defy your assumptions.

  31. Bob
    Posted May 16, 2019 at 12:46 pm | Permalink

    You’re probably right with all of that but can she overcome the tragically bungled Pocahontas thing? I don’t think so. Can she inspire African Americans to come out and vote? That’s probably even less likely than with Hillary. I think Bernie/Harris is the ticket at this point. It will probably be Biden/Harris, unless old Joe does something completely ridiculous like picking a moderate Republican running mate. A completely possible scenario. To be clear, I really like Warren. I have for years. I would love to see her in charge of the fed or tasked with banking overhaul and corporate malfeasance. She would kill.
    I hear a lot teachers talking in my world. I’ve heard numerous white, middle-aged, solidly democratic, union women groan at the idea of Warren being the nominee. The heart of what should be her base. People find her goofy. Would these people vote for her? Of course. As even I did for Hillz. Would she inspire those less committed to get off the couch and stand in long lines to vote for her? I dunno. I really doubt it. What do I know? What does Michael Moore say? He’s the one guy who always calls it correctly.

    “Biden is probably a worse choice than Hillary for policy, but he might at least get back some of the white, blue collar, male voters that Hillary and Warren are never going to get.”

    Ok, so sexism is your reason. To be clear, I’m not accusing you of sexism (Christ! why do I ALWAYS have to say that?), I’m saying sexism is why Bernie and Biden have a better chance than Warren.

    I don’t like Bernie, but my main beef about Bernie, is was and always will be the way sexism was employed in his campaign and by his followers. And especially the way it was denied by so many of his supporters. That was why I was talking about the race. I was not advocating for Hillary because talking about sexism is generally not going to win one any converts. I was very consistent in my message and speech about the race, calling out its sexism early on. I think Mark called me ‘nuts.’ We’ll see how he feels about it in a few months.

    Bob– Also, Hillary had the overwhelming support of Black voters especially women. And she received as much of the vote as every other Dem candidate other than Obama. For obvious reasons. I do not think Black voters will be persuaded to GOTV in historic numbers for a Black VP to an old white dude. They aren’t falling for that.

    Warren’s surge began when she did as well as Harris at the She the People Convention of BLACK WOMEN VOTERS. The rest followed. She can, in fact, speak to voters of many different backgrounds and speak to their interests. The kind of people who punish white liberals for missteps like genetic testing is white liberals. Black people are really fucking used to white people not getting it; that’s their lives. Black voters have immediate political concerns that any candidate can speak to so long as they are treated with due respect and heard. Bernie is a good talker not a good listener. Same with Biden.

    Warren it seems can do both.

    The two barriers to her nomination are sexism and $$ due to her legitimacy as a reformer (and then there’s the $$ problems due to sexism in media coverage– ie electability).

    She has what it takes otherwise.

    I honest to God don’t remember examples of Bernie’s sexism. I think plenty of Hillary supporters still want to attribute much of the progressive dislike of Hillary to sexism, and that’s not what it was. They just didn’t like her. They didn’t like her voting record or cozy relationship with banks and Walmart.

    Biden is another thing entirely and there probably is real sexism there. It’s just a fact that he’s going to get some of the famous “Macomb County” voters that voted Reagan and Trump but also will vote for Bill Clinton or certain Dems. They aren’t going to vote for Warren, even though she’s undoubtedly looking out for their auto industry related interests far more than Biden, Trump, Obama or either Bush or Clinton. People are dumb. White male middle-class voters are especially dumb. That’s just the way it is. Biden’s record is shit. He’s a moderate Republican in the same way Hillary is. Warren would be awesome but I’ll go back to my original statement. I think she would get slaughtered. Biden will get the nomination. Hopefully he can finally cross the finish line. Anything is better than more Trump. It’s gonna be another hold your nose election.

    For anyone seeking a political recharge, as well as a solid lesson in what it takes, I recommend this doc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wGZc8ZjFY4

    It’s possible to create positive change. We honestly don’t have time for Biden. If he gets 8 years, we’re sunk. Literally, humanity is sunk. I will vote for him if he’s the nominee, but we simply must offer more hope than he can provide. We have to change our entire economy to one that is productive for all and that grows prosperous through technological innovation driven by climate action and adapatation, with adequate social supports, dense urban cores with a majority car-free society. We have to build a core belief in maximizing the potential of ALL people living in America.

    Our fear has been a sickness that made us hide from the mighty tasks at hand. We looked to anyone or anything to blame for our predicament. Hot tip: It’s not just capitalism and it’s not just the 1%. We used that scapegoating as a way to step aside from our responsibility.

Which is why you repeat the smears against Tulsi, the one candidate that will steal voters from Trump, while all the rest drive people to him.

    DD, Warren needs to reach out and make a direct appeal to the indigenous constituency. I agree shes missed this opportunity, with DARPL, so far.

    I think you might misread the tendency to bloodlust in John Brown. Its been quite interesting to see the reactions to him from the extremes of the left, the right, and the basement. But you cant deny that humans are a proven blood thirsty psychopathic species. Its important to acknowledge who we’re dealing with when deciding what tactics we’re willing to use. I like the wolves, lambs, and sheepdogs analogy. Of course when the fur starts flying the distinction can easily be blurred.

    Maybe in our next lives we’ll all come back as manatees, then maybe that world peace thing, and Tulsi, has a better chance…

    “As JH has pointed our you seem to have an infatuation with violence. Which is why you repeat the smears against Tulsi, the one candidate that will steal voters from Trump, while all the rest drive people to him.”

    Bingo.

    Trump is serving a necessary function. It would not be a bad thing if we did not need him anymore and someone like Tulsi could take his place. Whether or not that happens greatly depends upon whether or not the thoroughly corrupt left is able to self-reflect. That is the challenge for the Fake John Browns out there. They need to look into the mirror and take inventory of what is true and what is lies and how they perpetuate those lies.

    I think Warren has some redeeming qualities relative to many of the other hopefuls but I think she has dropped some recent clues that she is far cry from the kind of leader that might inspire the sort of spiritual/ intellectual transformation that is required, amongst many on the left, so that we might be able to transcend the current political climate of which Trump is a symptom. She is going all in on the divisive game in the hopes that identity politics will win out. It won’t. She will lose and rightly so.

    Contrary to Fake John Brown’s belief Tulsi is not some dreamy peace hippy. She very much has a backbone. Do the Fake John Brown’s out there have a backbone?

    Fake John Brown has parroted the idea that Tulsi is a Russian stooge. Why? Because she saw through nonsense like “Russia, Russia, Russia….now that we have a narrative we can’t let go….” Who is Fake John Brown getting his marching orders from? He can’t answer that question because he doesn’t even know. It’s all happening to him, because, like many other people in this community, his mind is geared to passively absorb the lies.

    Status: Stooge without backbone.

    It’s no surprise at all that you did not see the sexism in Bernie’s campaign. I can see the problems with the DNC however. i don;t know if you noticed but a whole lot of women are and were legitimately angry about sexism. And not all of us loved Hillary. Those who were not complicit however could see what was going on. I can;t tell you how many women Sander’s supporters who defended him early on have told me they can;t stand the guy now. I guess his charm wore off. There are issues that bear on inequity other than corporate over-reach. Using that bias to energize a progressive campaign is corrupt in a different way. A populist way. There isn’t just one kind of corruption. Bernie is as tone deaf to that reality and its ramifications as you are. Either that or he’s evil. I choose to believe he and you are simply myopic.

    ““This category of recent conspiracy theorists is really a global network of village idiots,” Pozner tells Merlan. “They would have never been able to find each other before, but now it’s this synergistic effect of the combination of all of them from all over the world. There are haters from Australia and Europe and they can all make a YouTube video in fifteen seconds.”

    During the 2016 Presidential election, Zeynep Tufekci was watching tapes of Trump rallies when she noticed something odd. Tufekci, an associate at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society and a self-described techno-sociologist, found that YouTube began cuing up for her videos filled with racist diatribes and Holocaust denials. She wondered what was going on, so she created another account and began watching clips of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. This time, she found herself directed to what she later described in the Times as “videos of a leftish conspiratorial cast,” including some that argued that the U.S. government was responsible for the attacks of September 11th.

    Tufekci concluded that YouTube had decided that the best way to hold viewers’ attention was to push them toward more and more sensational material. The motive wasn’t political; it was commercial. And probably the scheme wasn’t the work of a cabal, or even a person, but of an algorithm. “What we are witnessing is the computational exploitation of a natural human desire: to look ‘behind the curtain,’ ” Tufekci wrote.

    At a minimum, what’s new about the “new conspiracism” is the number of people exposed to it. If there’s a “natural human desire” to get at some hidden truth, it’s never been easier to indulge that desire—or to imagine doing so—via YouTube or Infowars or Twitter. It’s unclear how many of those who are led to posts on the “truth” about 9/11 or listen to Alex Jones or follow Trump’s tweets actually believe what they encounter, but only a tiny fraction can create a very big problem; after all, almost two billion people click on YouTube videos every month. In a tacit acknowledgment of responsibility, Pinterest blocked vaccine-related searches on its sites after measles outbreaks in several states this winter. Facebook, too, recently said that it would “reduce the ranking of groups or Pages that spread misinformation about vaccinations.” In January, without ever explaining how its “up next” algorithm works, YouTube announced that it would “begin reducing recommendations of borderline content,” including videos “making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11.”

    Meanwhile, Pizzagate stumbles on. A couple of months ago, another man was arrested in connection with Comet Ping Pong—this one for setting fire to the place. ”

I agree with you on their importance. I had followed that up with an article about the Trump administration wanting to engage in forestry policies that given what you had said indicated you opposed. Your red herring is interesting but irrelevant. Eliminating fossil fuel subsidies as Tulsi is calling for, would be a far more effective way to transition to a renewable sustainable energy system. We end the wars and scale back the military, (a major green house gas emitter), and we’ll have money left over to pay for the training/retraining of our workforce while mitigating some of the worst effects of our current destructive policies.

    Aloha HW, “Some 42,000 acres out of 17 million might not be that bad”, thank you for teaching me the nuances of hypocrisy. Destroying forests, is like tearing the lungs out of the planet.
    Greenhouse gases include more than just CO2. Methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas. That is one of the reasons Tulsi talks about the need to change the way we engage in agriculture. After the fossil fuel industries, and war, the agri-business industries are the next most powerful driver of greenhouse gas emissions.
    It is the warming of the arctic which is causing the release of methane, and one of the reasons why despite the leveling off of C02 emissions that global warming is continuing. You may know of the concept of reinforcing feedback loops. That is why the arctic is warming up so much faster than the rest of the planet. In the world I was born into, it NEVER got into the mid 80’s F above the arctic circle. You may have heard of PERMAFROST. Well as permafrost melts (which it does when it is that warm) it releases methane. The increase in methane, causes yet higher temperatures (it is a many times more powerful greenhouse gas than Co2)–why it is called a reinforcing feedback loop. The rapid decline in sea ice is another feedback loop which is causing ever increasing temperatures in the arctic as well. White ice reflects sunlight, open water absorbs sunlight and heat, causing the water to warm, melting additional ice. It is these reinforcing feedback loops, which are occurring at a ever increasing rate which is why (given the nuanced hypocrisy that you and other’s of like mind embody) are days are numbered. You might want to check out the Arctic Methane Emergency Group for more info.

    John Brown– One article by one Native person does not reflect all the sentiment about Warren from Natives.

    “Now we come back to Elizabeth Warren. She is one of millions of Americans who have family stories about her Native ancestors. Millions of people who are potential allies at time when tribal sovereignty and our basic rights are under siege.

    We need good allies to partner with us to amplify our voices and to show up with us and support tribes on key issues.

    We need to show up for our allies as well. The research shows that we will continue to struggle to protect our rights unless we make a concerted and intentional effort to change the story, to stop being invisible.

    I believe Elizabeth Warren has made some real mistakes and she needs to do a lot better. I will support her while also holding her accountable.

    As a tribal citizen of the Pawnee Nation, I will support her because she has never claimed tribal citizenship and she clearly supports tribal sovereignty and the inherent rights of tribes to determine our citizenship.

    She is an ally who has lifted up on a national stage the issue of violence against Native women by asking Trump to donate his $1 million pledge to the National Indian Women’s Resource Center.

    My experience working with the Reclaiming Native Truth Project Research has taught me that we have more to gain from working with allies and educating them than trying to destroy them.”

But dragging them into the racists spotlight as targets, unwillingly, and without perceived payback is super rude and dismissive. Keep trying, it took me a while to understand based on my cultural bias of not being a member of this most abused and dismissed demographic either. Check out Native twitter and see how pissed people are about being targeted as Pocahontases for some fake-ass pretendians political career and a bunch of fake progressives who will just abandon them after anyways.

    So some Natives probably are OK with Warren, while others are terrified it makes them greater targets. Is that cool? Obviously the Native community is not monolithic, but a bunch of actual people are rightfully afraid of being Pocahontased. Seems like the candidate out to address that better than she has to date.

    Also its good to be sure you really get that the whole pretendian concept is a Freudian compensation to protect the individual from guilt over the Native genocide.

    From Jeans post “Tucker Carlson of Fox News opened a segment of his show stating that “Fauxcahontas is on the warpath,” “Lieawatha is having her own trail of tears,” and “Elizabeth Warren appointed herself as the head of the #MeSioux Movement.” Carlson said all of these racist jibes in the same segment where he acknowledged the outrage felt by Native Americans.”

    I’ll add, Hell agent orange and his greasy little shit kid mocked Trail of tears via tweet. Thats akin to holocaust denying in its level of genocidal racism. Thats the problem. Not my lack of documented evidence to prove something any healthy empathetic person should just intuitively understand.

    And we all know that MAGATs never act out on what these faux racists bastards say. Is it sooo hard to believe that little Cesar Sayocs are out there being dicks to Native women?

    According to FJB’s theory, racist Trump supporters are increasing their racist acts against Native American’s NOT BECAUSE they are racists and see Native Americans as objects of their racist thoughts but BECAUSE they see Native American’s as proxies for Elizabeth Warren, who is actually white? Do I have it right? In this theory are the Native Americans cool with Warren if not for the racists who hate her white ass? Follow up question: Do you really think MAGA people are so worried about Warren as a viable candidate that they would go out of their way to punish people who have nothing to do with her and who presumably also don’t care about her much either?

    Darth Nader

    Broidy was co-hosting a fundraiser for Trump and the Republican National Committee in Dallas on Oct. 25. The Secret Service had said Nader wouldn’t be allowed to meet the president. It was not clear if the objections were related to his convictions for sexually abusing children.

    Broidy drafted an email to Trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, asking him to intervene on behalf of his friend, whom he oddly called “George Vader” — a misnomer that appears elsewhere in the emails.

    “One of my companies does deep vetting for the US government,” he wrote. “We ran all data bases including FBI and Interpol and found no issues with regard to Mr. Vader.”

    Nader was arrested when warrants from the Mueller investigation ‘incidentally’ produced child porn images on his cell phone. This was not part of any larger effort to uncover child sex rings, HW. Beyond that the charges came as a result of the Mueller investigation which you call a deep state witch hunt. Beyond even that, Nader had been previously convicted in several times for possession of child pornography. And again in 2003 in Czech Republic for sexual abuse of 10 boys and child porn from 1999-2003– which did not prevent Trump from working with him to make nicey-nice with ‘reformer’/murderer Mohammed bin Salman etc. From the sounds of it he has been an important connection to various powerful people in the Middle East and, despite his pedophilia, every administration ‘since Reagan’ has used him in some capacity for negotiations. It’s sick and fucked up, but this is not about the Clintons. Just power. I have not found any indication that Nader has any involvement with the Clinton Foundation, though it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he did. It sounds like the guy has made himself indispensable. I find the whole thing more than disturbing but not surprising.

    https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/16/george-nader-child-porn-467776

    PS the image of Nader partying with Bill Clinton supposedly on Epstein’s island was the other Geroge Nader it seems– Wrongly identified in countless right-wing conspiracy sites. (which is why I now question if it was Epstein’s island at all…)

    What we know for sure is that Trumpo is a Swamp creature. He will never drain anything but will only add relentlessly to the corruption and deceit in our government/corporate alliance.

    Richardson: I got in the way. She got kind of like scratched me a little bit.

    Prosecutor Elizabeth Lederer: Let me just ask you, you’re saying that she scratched you and you’re indicating a place on your face?

I worked summers in California and other places out west at the time. It was a terrible idea at the time. But Dems and the GOP loved it. And many in the Black community supported it then too. Many were calling for tougher laws and stricter enforcement at the time. Crack epidemic was raging and the accompanying gang violence. It was a fucked up time.

I have interacted with the creator of that site and he is a hardcore deep state communist who would fit in great with you and a few others around here. Nothing but lies and hate.

    Although I guess some people find that problematic.

    Sorry to hear about John Conyers . A true hero in his heyday.

    Beto is out!

    Pete’s lane is opening up.

    I heard Warren described today as a cross between Hilary and George McGovern.

    Ha-Ha

    Sad. LOL. I thought about you when I read about Beto dropping out. I think it will help Mayor Pete the most.

    Everyone else needs to get out.

    Mayor Pete is our only chance.

    Sorry.

    Biden’s slipping fast. Sanders is dying. And every time Warren comes out with the details of her plans everybody sees they are more like dreams.

    I was disappointed the Mishawaka dog-catcher never got in the race.

    Will people really vote for Warren next week?

    Isn’t the choice now really Biden or Sanders?

    If Warren is in the race still. I will vote for her. I have no strong enough preference re the other two. They just seem like two paths to losing to Trump or ineffectual leadership if either manage to win.

    PS Bob– checked in with people who work at PP at both locations and none of them know what you are talking about or have ever heard anyone at PP mention me. Since I get my reproductive health care there, I needed to assure I was not walking into a snakepit. Canceling people on the true left from the far left is so tiresome and counterproductive. If Bernie wants to win the nomination he’s going to have to sitch you assholes. Women who work at PP should not make a practice of open derision of their patients. I’m sure they wouldn’t be pleased to find out you outed them that way.
